As Australia’s largest cider show, it presents an unrivalled opportunity for producers and distributors to showcase their products and have them benchmarked by the finest cider judges in the country. The 2016 Awards attracted over 200 entries from 69 exhibitors. This booklet contains all Awards information including rules and delivery instructions, and a style guide that outlines the classes judged within the Australian Cider Awards. Defining cider and perry styles acknowledges the diversity of products being made in Australia, and aids judges by grouping comparable ciders for assessment. The Cider Awards are run by Cider Australia, a not-for-profit organisation that represents the interests of the craft cider and perry industry in Australia. Cider Australia’s primary concern is to build a sustainable category through maintaining and improving the quality of ciders produced and marketed in Australia.

Ice cider is more a sweet wine than a cider, with an intense apple flavour and sweetness, and acidity to balance the flavours. It originates from Canada, where specifications includes a pre-fermentation sugar content of not less than 30 °Brix, and a finished product with a residual sugar content of not less than 130 g/l, containing 7-13 % alcohol. This project aims to investigate and document some of the aspects of ice cider production process for Swedish conditions.

    Paris and Normandy River Cruise Through the Eyes of a Woman! April 22 - May 2, 2019 WO MEN OF N EBRASKA Travel Solo Tog ether Dear Women of Nebraska, Join me on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Northern France! Join our exceptional Paris-Normandy river cruise on board the deluxe AmaLyra of AmaWaterways along the Seine River and through the heart of Normandy. With a capacity of 74 outside staterooms only, this cruise gives us the private feeling we are looking for. Our 11-day tour begins in Paris, the City of Light, with its iconic landmarks, aristocratic lifestyle, romantic ardor, architectural splendor, animated sidewalk cafes and, world-class fashion and shopping. Ahead of us awaits Monet’s Gardens in Giverny and Rouen’s Cathedral of Notre Dame. The charming harbor town of Honfleur will inspire you the same way as they inspired the great Impressionists. We will get to see some of these very same places and landmarks that the Impressionist Masters captured on canvas at the Musée d’Orsay, during our stay in Paris. For an inspiration of a different kind, we travel the “Routes des Abbayes” (Route of the Historic Norman Abbeys), visiting some of the most magnificent monasteries, and to the unforgettable beaches of Normandy where Allied forces landed during WWII’s D-Day invasion. We reflect on Journal Star Destinations the “longest day” and honor the sacrifices made in changing history not once, but twice. We will relive the grandeur of royalty at Château Malmaison, the former home of Napoleon and Josephine Bonaparte, and at Chateau de Bizy, once referred to as “the Versailles of Normandy.” Blend a passion for the good life with culture, art, architecture and timeless landscapes, and you have Northern France! Come, join me! Solo or two-by-two! Sincerely, Sally Dunham Ambassador, Women of Nebraska Call Executive Travel’s Group Department today at 402-435-8888.

  • Apfel, Birne & Quitte

    Apfel, Birne & Quitte

    Apfel, Birne & Quitte Apfel (Malus), Birne (Pyrus) und Quitte (Cydonia) gehören zu den Kernobstgewächsen (Pyrinae) in der Familie der Rosengewächse und stehen seit tausenden Jahren als Obst in Kultur. Kernobst, besonders der Apfel, stellt eine sehr wichtige Tracht für Bienen im Frühjahr dar und es ist das Obst schlechthin. Aus Kernobst werden Säfte, Mus, Trockenobst (Apfelchips, getrocknete Birnen = Kletzen), Konserven, Kompott, Kuchenbelag, Most (Obstwein), Cider und Obstbrände hergestellt. Ein Dicksaft aus Birnen wird Birnenkraut oder Birnenhonig genannt. Die Quitte ist zudem indirekt Namensgeber für das Wort Marmelade von portugiesisch marmelo für Quitte und griechisch melimelon Honigapfel. Aus Quitten werden zudem noch Gelee (Quittenkäs), Likör und Perlwein hergestellt, da die Quitte zwar festfleischig und schwierig zu verarbeiten aber ausgesprochen aromatisch ist. Auch ein Konfekt mit dem Namen Quittenbrot aus Quittenmus und Gelierzucker ist sehr beliebt. Plinius erwähnte bereits Birnenwein. England und die Normandie lieben ihren Apfelwein (Cider). Spätestens seit der Besiedelung des Westens feiert Amerika Johnny Appleseed. Dieser brachte Apfelsamen aus der Alten Welt mit und begann während seiner Reise durch den Westen Apfelbäume zu pflanzen, damit sich die Siedler selbst mit Apfelwein versorgen konnten. Obstwein aus Äpfeln nennt man Cider, aus Birnen Perry und aus Quitten Querry. In der Normandie wird Cider aus verschiedensten Apfelsorten gekeltert, die auf Streuobstwiesen wachsen. Aus Apfelwein wird auch Calvados gebrannt. Fügt man frischen, gärenden Apfelwein und Apfelbrand zusammen, erhält man den in der Normandie und Bretagne bekannten Pommeau, der als Aperitif getrunken wird. Eigentlich ein nach der Portweinmethode hergestellter Apfeldessertwein. Die Hauptmenge an Obstwein, die heutzutage getrunken wird, wird aus Äpfeln bzw. Kernobst hergestellt.

    Influence of Our Special Treatment on Green Coffee Beans by Dr.Hu, Middlebury CT

    PO BOX 661 Redding CT 06896 Phone: (203)938-0713 Fax: (203)938-1124, E-mail: [email protected] __________________________Webpage: wwwbunitedint.com_________________________ Influence of our Special Treatment on Green Coffee Beans By Dr.Hu, Middlebury CT Introduction The green coffee chemical composition consists primarily of two fractions: non-volatile and volatile compounds. In general, the compounds of the non-volatile fraction form the basis of the green coffee and are divided into the several groups according to their characteristics. These groups are given as: (1) Carbohydrates/Fiber, which include Sucrose, Polysaccharides, Lignin and Pectin; (2) Nitrogenous Compounds, which include Protein/Peptides, Free Amino Acids, Caffeine and Trigonelline; (3) Lipids, which include Coffee Oil (Triglycerides with unsaponifiables, Sterols/Tocopherols), Diterpenes and Minerals; (4) Acids and Esters, which include Chlorogenic Acids, Aliphatic Acids and Quinic Acids. Many such compounds and their derivatives that are related to these four groups were identified and published in the literatures during past years. The volatile fraction of the green coffee seeds gives them a weak but characteristic aroma. Approximately more than 100 different volatile compounds have been identified in green coffee beans. The most abundant classes of volatile compounds are categorized as: Alcohols, Esters, Hydrocarbons and Aldehydes. In addition, Ketones, Pyrazines, Furan and Sulfur compounds have also been identified. It was interested in observing that the volatile composition of coffee berries is dominated by high level of Alcohols, mainly Ethanol, in all stage of ripeness. Overripe coffee berries, however, exhibit high concentration of volatile compounds by Esters, followed by Alcohols, Ketones and Aldehydes. Depending on genetic aspects, especially species, and physiologic aspects such as degree of maturation, as well as extrinsic factors such as soil composition, climate, agricultural practices and storage conditions, the different green coffee beans differ in many ways.
